Everyone is wired different and see things in different ways...and I believe it all depends on your up bringing.

As a 36yr old man, wifey and I have 4 kids (18, 14, 13, 9 year olds). All my kids were made when I was under 30 yrs old. Was it tough ? Yeah...its supposed to be. But the experience was only rough with the 1st kid. I was young and would always be out chillin with my boys for the first couple of years. I then hit a wall of guilt....

My pops was a piece of shyt and bounced out of my life early. I took a step back and realized that I was being just like him. Made me realize that I don't want none of my kids to grow up fatherless like me, so I made the life change of living life for what was best for my family and not "me". Wifey understood me wanting to chill with my boys (I'm sure it irritated her inside), but I made the decision to limit shyt and spend most of my time with wifey and my seed.

I know that decision is what made my relationship solid (thus the 4 kids). Looking out for one another and the best interest of the kids is what makes the relationship better. Honesty and communication is key.

Not to mention. After 4 kids, wifey is still 115 lbs. But a huge part of that was her working out daily, with me or me making the sacrifice to watch the kids while she works out.

People don't date long enough. The dating to marriage to kids carousel happens so fast that people never really learn who their partner is until it's too late.

You gotta be around each other long enough to have those tough conversations (whippings vs time out, chatty kids vs yessir/no sir etc.).

One of the reasons for me is that the female let’s her body go, doesn’t loose all the baby weight and is no longer attractive :francis: I’ve seen females blame their weight on their baby 4+ years after the fact. Like you coulda BEEN lost that weight sis :comeon:

Nah, some women get super thick after having a baby or two. :takedat: Some girls I knew from high school who were hella cute by skinny became super thick after having a couple babies :picard:.

Couples often don't last after a baby because having a kid has become so institutionalized in America. Women know they can milk a man for a check for 18 years, so why stay with him? We've all seen the stripper hustle of hoes waiting to squeeze out some rich simp's kid only to divorce him right afterwards. :why:

Everything is so monetized and commodified in modern America including sex and relationships. It's hard to find a real ride or die nowadays. That's where the game gets fukked up. Men place all of women's value in her looks and get finessed when these women that men thirst over monetize their looks as a hustle. You can easily find a ride or die to be by your side broke or not, but chances are, she might not physically be what you consider a dime. :manny:

It is a valid point because it happens astronomically more outside of marriage than it does within the confines of marriage.

I hope your not going to seriously argue that having a child outside of wedlock is the same as having a child within a marriage.

Children can quickly expose and magnify the flaws in a relationship. I don't know if it's just me, but Mexicans seem to pull it off somehow. Their culture seems to expect their young adults to have kids at a young age, so the support system is there naturally. I understand there is a lot of them and that contributes to the perception of them staying together, but I'm sure the actual data would show a lot of them split too.

Yeah, i used to work with an Ecuadorian dude who told me that they usually split up in their early thirties after having the kids at like 19. The kids are almost adult age(14 to 15) so I guess you can now prioritize your own happiness. And the cycle starts again in a few years for the young kids having kids.
